Year-round tropical beach, with the best general conditions during April–October (drier and pleasantly breezy). Expect occasional rain in December–March; water is warm year-round.

Tropical climate: average temperatures 24–30°C (75–86°F). Humidity is high; trade winds from the southeast bring breezy conditions especially May–September.

Located on the southwest coast of Mahé (near Baie Lazare / Anse Boileau area). Nearest international airport is Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé — roughly 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic. Access by private car, taxi or rental car is easiest; limited public bus service runs along major routes but may require a short walk and timetable planning. There is basic roadside parking with a short walk/steps down to the sand; the beach has uneven surfaces (granite steps/rocks) so mobility-impaired access is limited.

2–4 hours (half-day) is ideal to enjoy swimming, snorkeling and a relaxed meal; combine with visits to nearby beaches for a full-day outing.

Swimwear, reef shoes (rocky patches and coral), snorkel mask (if you prefer your own), sunhat, reef‑safe sunscreen, light cover-up for sun protection, water shoes for rocky entry points, and a waterproof camera for underwater photos.

Try fresh grilled fish, Creole-style curries, coconut-based dishes and tropical fruit from nearby beachside stalls. Souvenirs available elsewhere on Mahé include locally made vanilla products, coconut crafts, Seychellois spices and handmade wood or shell souvenirs. Small cafés close to the beach sometimes sell freshly made Creole plates — cash is useful as some places are cash-preferred.
